Cilla Lee-Jenkins: This Book Is a Classic

263 pp. | Roaring Brook | March, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-62672-553-9 $16.99
(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Dana Wulfekotte. This slice-of-life illustrated novel is a standalone sequel to Cilla Lee-Jenkins: Future Author Extraordinaire. Writerly Cilla negotiates a third wheel's intrusion into her relationship with BFF Colleen, learns about her Chinese American heritage, serves as a flower girl, and attempts to teach her baby sister to say her name. Charming Cilla is as believably enthusiastic about life (and cake) as she is conflicted about friendship.
